This is a photo of sunset at Newport Sands, Pembrokeshire, Wales on 25 September 2025. There are distinct linear areas in the photo - a strip of dark sand at the bottom, a strip of calm sea in the middle, a dark headland (almost stretching across the image, forming another strip) and strips of different coloured clouds and sky at the top. The sea is highlighted gold by the setting sun and two people are silhouetted on the beach, positioned at the nose of the headland. The colour palette consists of muted shades of ochre, orange, gold, pale blue and charcoal.

For today's #BlueSkyMonday... kayaking off the #Pembrokeshire coast last Friday night. Still plenty of #bluesky at 9pm, and what a great start to the weekend it was 💙💛💙

This is a photo of a yellow sea kayak nearing a natural arch off the coast of Pembrokeshire, Wales at 9pm on a fabulous blue sky evening in July 2025. The rocks - which are reflected in the calm water of the sea - are a deep copper colour and the arch provides a window on the cliffs behind.

Last night's #sunset from high up in an oak tree 🧡

#stormhour #thephotohour #pembrokeshire #photography #clouds #treehouse #photographersofbluesky #oak #oaktree
Taken from high up in an oak tree in Pembrokeshire, Wales on 1 July 2025, this is a photo of the sun setting with a foreground of leaves silhouetted against the sky. Pastel pinky grey rippled clouds populate the top of the photo, but the sky turns increasingly cloudless and orange in the bottom right corner where the sun is setting.

Looking towards the Parrog at Newport, #Pembrokeshire from the #WalesCoastPath last week for #TidesOutTuesday and #Rockintuesday.

This is a view towards the Parrog at Newport, Pembrokeshire at low tide from the Pembrokeshire Coast Path in June 2025. Exposed rocks - covered with algae, clumps of plants and barnacles - are in the foreground. Boats on Newport Estuary and the beach at Newport Sands are in the middle distance, and there are hills dotted with houses in the far distance.

Friday night at #CwmyrEglwys, #Pembrokeshire for today's #BlueSkyMonday. After storms in the c19th, just one wall remains of the medieval church which gives the village its name in Welsh.

#stormhour #thephotohour #pembrokeshirecoast #photography #landscapephotography #photographersofbluesky
This a photo of the coastal village of Cwm-yr-Eglwys (Valley of the Church) in Pembrokeshire, Wales. A slate path leads the eye through a grassy churchyard to the sea and the headland beyond. Following a series of storms in the 19th century, the western entrance wall is all that remains of the stone church. The sky is bright blue with wispy white clouds.

This is a photo of a stunning sundown at Newport Sands, Pembrokeshire, Wales on 25 May 2025. Gold and copper rivulets on the wet sand are snaking their way towards the viewer, contrasting against the dark tones of the sea and dry sand in the foreground. The sky is full of dark grey clouds but, close to the horizon, it turns golden.

This is a close-up macro photo of an oxeye daisy, taken on 22 May 2025 on the Wales Coast Path near Ceibwr in Pembrokeshire. White petals (called ray florets) surround a mustard yellow centre (called disk florets) which are made up of tiny individual flowers.

For today's #Stunday ...even when the weather isn't stunning, I still think that my local town of Newport is 🧡

#stormhour #thephotohour #eastcoastkin #twilight #newportpembs #newportpembrokeshire #pembrokeshire #estuary #seascape #seascapes #photographersofbluesky #photographersunited
This is a photo of a grey and cloudy twilight in Newport, Pembrokeshire, Wales, with a dramatic streak of gold at the horizon. There are houses on the shoreline on the left, and the beach at Newport Sands is in the middle distance, visually separating Newport Estuary (in the foreground) from the sea. The estuary turns from charcoal grey to gold as it snakes its way towards the sea, reflecting the colours of the sky. A headland (Dinas Head) is silhouetted against the golden sky.

8.20pm yesterday evening at Ceibwr Bay, #Pembrokeshire. I'm loving the long, light evenings...and the carpets of #thrift and #birdsfoottrefoil on the #cliffs 💕💛💕

This is a photo of a perfectly round sun setting into a bank of cloud at Newport Sands, Pembrokeshire, Wales on 21 May 2025. The graduated sky is peach at the top, turning to deep orange at the horizon, and the sun's rays cast a zig zag burnt copper trail over the wet and patterned sand.

Taken from the Wales Coast Path on Morfa Head in May 2025, this is a photo of the beach at Newport Sands, Pembrokeshire, Wales and Carningli Mountain and Newport itself beyond. The coast path, with swathes of bracken and ferns either side, leads the eye in the direction of the long and sandy beach. The sky is deep blue and almost cloudless. The sea is turquoise and calm.

Peek-a-boo...I have so many #puffin pics from my 5th visit to #SkomerIsland earlier this month, but this is one of my faves ❤️ See alt text for info about visiting #Skomer.

#StunDay #thephotohour #puffins #nature #birds #naturephotography #photography #pembrokeshire #birdwatching #birdinguk #wales
This is a close-up photo of one of over 40,000 puffins peeping out of its burrow on Skomer Island, Pembrokeshire, Wales in May 2025. Puffins typically arrive on Skomer in late April to establish their breeding grounds and the first ones begin to leave around mid-July, with the last usually leaving by the end of the month. See https://www.pembrokeshire-islands.co.uk/boat-trips/ for information about trips to Skomer, and you need to book months in advance if you want to land on the island. Booking usually opens in December.

Another #twilight with lots of #texture for today's #BlueSkyArtShow ...and, although it may look like a b&w photo, it isn't!

This is a photo of low tide at Newport Sands, Pembrokeshire, Wales at twilight in January. There are rocks and rockpools in the foreground. Dinas Head is in the distance, and the sky is grey and cloudy. The fading light casts a silvery glow over the scene and, at first glance, it looks like a black and white photo - but it isn't.

This is a photo of twilight at Newport Sands, Pembrokeshire, Wales at low tide. Raised ripples in the wet sand form leading lines to the horizon, and turn increasingly golden. There are lots of dark clouds, but the eye is drawn to an almost clear patch of sky in the centre of the photo which is pale blue at the top, turning to orange near the horizon. There is a headland (Dinas Head) in the distance.

This is photo of the sun setting at Newport Sands, Pembrokeshire, Wales on 14 May 2025. The perfectly full sun looks like it is sitting on the horizon. The sky is pale blue at the top turning to orange close to the horizon. It is streaked with wispy white clouds. Deep blue - almost black - waves are lapping in the foreground, with texture higlighted by the sun. There is a headland (Dinas Head) in the distance.

This is a photo of twilight over Newport Estuary in Newport, Pembrokeshire, Wales on 14 May 2025. The sky looks like it has been painted with various pastel shades of blue, pink, yellow and orange, and the colours are reflected in the perfectly still water of the estuary. The shore juts out into the estuary on the right of the photo, and the beach at Newport Sands, the sea and a headland (Dinas Head) are in the distance.
